Money is not zero-sum, sorry.

If someone gets paid 1 million a year by the stockholders (otherwise known as "the public") it's because they think that he is worth that money.

Just like it's worth it to Hollywood to pay someone 10 million to make a movie, or 3 million to throw a ball.

An ARBITRARY cap is just that, arbitrary (and stupid).

All of a sudden making 25.00001X lowest wage is immoral (and illegal) while 25.000 is just dandy?

What about all the people that make money selling stuff to people with money?
